Wax is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, musician, producer, and comedian. He became a YouTube sensation after uploading several videos of himself rapping and singing. Wax was signed to Def Jam Recordings by then president L.A. Reid, however, they would eventually part ways before releasing an album. Upon getting dropped, Wax released his hit song “Rosana” independently, which topped Billboard charts globally. The music video for “Rosana” has amassed over 45 million views to date. Wax recently relocated from Los Angeles to San Diego, California, where his twin brother Herbal-T also resides.
